Friday Faves 86 - Medieval Faire Fun!

Every year on the last weekend of January and the first weekend of February in the city of Gainesville, Florida they have a wonderful Medieval Faire called The Hoggetowne Festival. Now, I realize that not everyone who reads this blog is from Florida but I thought it might be fun if we focused on all things with a Medieval (and Renaissance) Faire theme.

Anyone who is interested in attending The Hoggetowne Festival may go to the following site:

And a little music to get us in the Medieval frame of mind:

I hope you enjoyed our little promenade through some of the Medieval Shoppes at Etsy.

Next week we'll start fanning the flames of romance with Valentine specials! Be sure to drop in for Music Monday when the featured music will come from the band Stabbing Westward and Tuesday Tutorial when we adventure more into woodworking, which just happens to be one of my favorite hobbies.

Until then, have a great weekend, everyone, and take care out there!
